License error: DS-5 Evaluation license

Hello,

I am currently using the  DS-5 evaluation license, However the following two errors are shown in the console:

  • License checkout for feature ds5eval_compiler5 has been denied by Flex back-end.
  • License checkout for feature Product.Compiler6 was denied because no matching MapFeatures were found in product definition /usr/local/DS-5/sw/ARMCompiler6.00/sw/mappings.

Community edition raises similar errors as well.

Could you please hint me on how to resolve these issues?

Many thanks.

  • Community Edition does not contain any license for any version of the ARM Compiler, and so that license error is expected.

    If using an (evaluation) license for DS-5 Professional's compiler (armcc), it is best to launch the 'DS-5 Command Prompt' installed with the tools, and running the tools in this shell.

    If you wish to use ARM Compiler 6 (armclang), you require an (evaluation) license for DS-5 Ultimate Edition. If using that tool, I again recommend using the 'ARM Compiler 6 Command Prompt' installed with the tools.

  • Thanks Ronan,

    Great, but I am trying to execute some of the DS-5 example  applications, Could you please provide a hint on what modifications to the existing Makefile shall I do in order to execute the examples under the DS-5 community edition.

    For instance if I  do the following would the example be compiled and executed.

    CC=armcc  -- GCC C Compiler

    AS=armasm -- GCC Assembler

    LD=armlink --     GCC C Linker

    AR=armar   --

    FE=fromelf -- ??

    Many thanks and Best regards,

  • ar is the open source equivalent of armar (archiver tool for creating libraries).

    There are several tools for the equivalent of fromelf, depending on which functionality you are refering to... such as strip, readelf etc.
